UKIP are dead in the water. Brexit had been a party for how long - something like 8 weeks before that byelection?

Brexit party are just UKIP with a different name. The whole ‘ooh, they’ve just been invented’ is as ridiculous as pretending Snickers was a whole new chocolate concept.

But the best example of the ‘leave constituency with a remain MP’ argument is closer to home, as the Newport by-election showed the thinking to be flawed. The MP there couldn’t have been more staunchly remain in a leave area. But she was voted in.

At this stage, whatever happens happens.

Remain MPs in Leave constituencies will be toast though if we remain.

EDIT: EU is irrelevant to me because I don't believe it'll be around in decades to come. Eastern European nations are already getting uppity. The rise in anti-EU sentiment will only increase across Europe.

It was the ‘we want freeeedom’ bit I was referring to.

I don’t think either are a good idea to be honest. Unless the UK leaves the EU in which case I think it’s a foregone conclusion.

SNP seem to believe they can just remain in EU should they leave the union. They'd have to apply like any other nation and comply like any other nation. There's no guarantee they'd even be accepted - Spain for one would have a nervous eye on Catalans.
